Fortunately, *I ***do **understand that they’re different. I have a minor in computer science; one of my classes was Operating Systems, where I actually–guess what–*wrote *an OS with a partner. I understand the differences between Windows and Macs, especially since OS X when they went Unix-based.
Macs may have gotten a leg up on security by starting from BSD, but they are by no means inherently perfectly secure. The more market share they pick up, the more profitable it will be to create malware for them. I don’t know if you appreciate how truly small the percentage of Mac computers is–only 6.22% use OS X as of August 2010. And most organizations who buy computers in bulk run Windows–how often do you visit an office or a university where they used mostly Macs instead of PCs?
What he said was “[Mac OSX] was based on the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) distribution of Linux.” Linux and BSD were both developed from Unix. It’s possible that he simply misspoke, or it’s possible that the writer wrote down Linux instead of Unix. It’s not a massive error.
And anyway, the point was that the idea that there are no Mac viruses in the wild is inaccurate, as proven by the screenshot here, which you conveniently seem to have overlooked. I am not saying that Macs are not generally much safer than PCs–simply that they are not 100% safe, and that it’s probably a bad idea to encourage people to take security lightly just because they use a Mac, regardless of your own informed preferences.
Oooooh, that’s a nice cloak–congratulations!
The main reason to use your ranged weapon is to pull a monster to you when running up to it would be bad–like when there are other ones nearby that you don’t want to fight. Using it every time can slow you down, especially if you could otherwise open with Charge, which (a) gets you there fast and (b) gives you Rage to start with.
That said, there’s nothing inherently wrong with ranged-pulling everything you want to kill.
What you want to do, Quasi, is to put the leather in the box to post it, then click the button that updates your data on what’s posted. Then, instead of just using the recommended price, you can undercut what’s actually posted right that minute.
You can also advertise in trade chat, asking people to make an offer.
The problem with 280% speed flight isn’t the mount–it’s the training. If you can afford the 4k-5k gold (depending on reputation) for that, the couple hundred extra for the mount won’t matter.
The main point for **Quasi **to take away is that some levels of riding training are optional. You need to take 60% ground, 100% ground, and 150% air in that order, but then after that 280% air and Northrend air are separate skills that don’t require anything other than 150% air. You can have 280% flying but not Northrend flying, or you can have Northrend flying but not 280%, or you can have both, or neither.
I’ll get the achievement though, just need a few more tokens for Brew of the Month application, so my first title will be Brewmaster!
